Chorus:

My, haven't you heard?

My, haven't you heard?



Yeah, well, I'm so surprised to see you

Up and out of bed

I guess you haven't heard yet

That last week you were found dead

Yeah, I heard it from the one

Who heard it from the one who knew

The one who heard it from the one

Who never checked with you

I hesitate to mention it

You know how these things spread

But just between the two of us

Here's what someone said

They said,



Chorus



It was the rumor of a stranger

We assumed that it was true

It never crossed our minds

To ever call and check with you

We just announced it at our meetings

We prayed for your soul

We waited for the nature of the beast

To take its toll

Now if we didn't love you

We wouldn't make it known

We're just minding random business

Cuz we've got none of our own

I say



Chorus x2



I hardly can believe it

And I hope it isn't so

I heard it from a person

Who said he didn't know

The others that I've shared it with

They've heard the rumor too

And now it really doesn't

Even matter if it's true

So just between the two of us,

I'll tell you what I'll do

Go ahead, admit you're dead

I'll say I never talked to you



Chorus x2
